Lyle,I see your progress, but remembering your first post on the subject:-don't you think that the creation of 3d wireframe objects could be a challenge for David (G'MIC)?So that one can more easily start from such a transformed object...

Would be nice; likely impossible though. I want to say I did request such a feature in the past though, but heard not response. Then again, I do have a crazy memory sometimes. lol

Lyle, great steps forward in your results. I love the results you have already got in short time. GOOD!!!

Thanks Issabella; still a work in progress. Tried again with this one but it just wasn't even good enough to share abroad. lol

Do like the texture of your result; details can be amblified by creating a convolution layer as I mentioned earlier (dup, bilate on top set to Grain Extract, then Grain Merge.).
